Gas, diesel prices set a record ... again

The price of regular unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel set a record again today, with both sharply higher over prices from a year ago.

The price of self-service regular unleaded gasoline was up a fraction of a cent overnight from Wednesday to $3.36-per-gallon, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge daily report. The price is up from $3.14 a month ago and $2.63 a year ago. Today's price is a record, according to AAA.

Overnight from Wednesday to Thursday, the price of unleaded gas went from $3.357-per-gallon to $3.360 -- which is only a fraction of a cent.

Diesel fuel, too, was up a fraction of a cent to the record local price of $4.05-per-gallon average. A month ago, diesel fuel was $3.48 and a year ago it was at $2.75.
